Later that night, Onigumo lie awake working on making some clothes for Kanna. Qui-gon Sesshie had a lightsaber! That had to mean he was a Jedi Samurai! Either that or he killed one... but no one could kill a Jedi, he thought shaking his head. I bet that guy with dog ears, Inu-wan Kenobi is his apprentice.
"You should get some sleep, master Onigumo." Kanna whispered.
"Clothes are so hard to make," He complained, "I wish I knew how to sew better, or that mom could make you something."
"I don't need anything, seeing that I am nothing more than something you created, master."
"Don't talk like that. Everyone needs clothes." Onigumo scoffed matter-of-factly.
"I am happy that you care for me, master Onigumo." Said Kanna in her vacant whisper.
"Of course I do! Someday im gonna get the finest silk for you to wear. And a pretty mirror to carry around, like all the fancy women do." Onigumo said pensively.
"And yet I would still live only to serve you, my master."
"There's nothing wrong with that, is there, Kanna?" Onigumo asked.
"I could not possibly live any other way, master Onigumo."
The next day, Onigumo and Qui-gon Sesshie were talking. Sesshie had taken a liking to the child.
"You're a Jedi Samurai, aren't you?" Onigumo asked out of the blue.
"Now what makes you think that?" Qui-gon Sesshie asked.
"I saw your lightsaber the other night." Onigumo stated, "Only Jedi carry those kinds of things. Plus the federation cruiser... it all adds up."
Clever child, Qui-gon Sesshie thought. "Perhaps I killed a Jedi and stole his weapon."
"That's impossible. No one can kill a Jedi."
"If only that were true." Sesshie said distantly.
Onigumo smiled. Here, in his own town, his own house was a real live Jedi Samurai!"
"My padawan learner Inu-wan Kenobi is a Jedi as well." Qui-gon Sesshie informed Onigumo.
"Is Kikyo?" Onigumo asked.
"No. but... you don't need to know about her." Qui-gon Sesshie said quickly and calmly.
Onigumo suddenly harbored a deep feeling of affection for his guests. "How are you going to get back to where you wanna go if you don't have the parts you need?" he asked.
"We won't." Qui-gon shrugged, "We will have to find the money somehow."
"I bet I can fix your cruiser!" Onigumo piped up, "Im really good at fixing things. And making them, too! You'll still need the fuel, but 30 credits will cover that plenty. Please let me try, Qui-gon Sesshie."
Qui-gon thought for a moment. "You are serious?" he asked.
"Yes!" Onigumo nodded.
"Then, what do we have to loose?" Qui-gon said.
"Oh no! I forgot something." Onigumo groaned, "Im a slave! I have a tracking device inside of me that will blow me up if I go more than five miles away from here! Only Jaken can deactivate it."
Qui-gon patted the boys head. "It's ok." He said, "We'll find another way. But first... there's something I want you to do for me."
